Dr. Pickering--- Manners
Categories: Small Town Soap Box
As far as I Know this is the first time we’ve ever had a Soap Box that was written by a PHD.
Mr. Moby;
As an old educator and business man with many letters behind my name…I was always taught that having good manners is the proper way of showing others how much we care for them. Therefore; improper manners shows the lack of proper child rearing by parents, a great disdain for their fellow man and a lack of education on the person who does not recognize that we are all judged by others on how politely we conduct ourselves in public. I applaud your kindness and your concern to take the time to teach our younger generation the proper etiquette on addressing adults with the proper respect and décor that will always be demanded of them in public communication. It is known in psychology that there is a theory named the “The Looking Glass Self” … and it simply states … that we are as others perceive us to be … in short; we are judged by others by how we present ourselves to them. In Conclusion; good manners will give others the perception that we are polite, well educated and a good communicator. I hope that the illiterate plebeians that disagree with you are only showing their ignorance and their disdain for their fellow man which discounts them greatly in any civilized society.
Best regards,
John David Pickering Sr. PhD
